From 1902 Butterick Publishing’s Fancy and Practical Knitting, this sweet little pattern has just 4 pattern rows and a 3-stitch repeat. I incorporated the pattern into an afghan strip. The strip can be adjusted to any size needed by adding multiples of 3 stitches. 3 of the rows are simple knit and purl. There’s 1 “fancy” row.
The sample is 3.75 inches (33 stitches) wide with 9 3-stitch repeats and 3 border stitches on each side.

Skills needed: cast on, slip a stitch purl-wise, knit, purl, yarn over, slip 1 stitch over 2 stitches and bind off in knit stitch.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Any block-able thread/yarn will work. Make a swatch to check size and appearance.

6 yards of #10 crochet cotton thread will make 1 inch or 12 rows of a 33-stitch strip in the stated gauge.
